Product Description

Product Description

In the "new" old south, pedigree and money still mean plenty...especially when you have neither. P.I. Charlotte deShawn and her friends Prissy, BrieAnna, and Bebe know all too well what it's like to be on the outside looking in, having grown up with more questions than answers about the parents they each lost at an early age. For Charlotte, enduring condescending looks and whispers only made her more determined to ignore social standing. So why should it be a problem when wealthy hotel owner Griff Parish wants to hire her to find the missing heir to his family fortune? Just because their chemistry is hotter than Georgia in August doesn't mean she can't be a pro about this. After all, they travel in completely different circles - or they did until now.Griff's always had a thing for Charlotte, with her long red hair, big green eyes, and wild streak. Even the hefty chip on her shoulder only reminds him of how strong she is. Still, nothing's ever come of the attraction. Now, however, the temptation Charlotte represents is too close to ignore. True, Griff got himself into this fix. He could have hired a different detective agency - but that wouldn't have served his ends. He has damn good reason to keep Charlotte deShawn close, and it has nothing to do with her keen mind or her gorgeous body. Yeah, right. Falling hard for Charlotte wasn't part of the plan, but in Savannah, what you expect is just about never what you get.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not sure it's worth the bother, 13 Dec 2008
By Helen Hancox "Auntie Helen" (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
"Hot and Bothered" appears to be part of a pair of books which follows the fortunes of four women who have been friends since childhood because of something they all have in common - they are all adopted. In "Hot and Bothered" the main focus is on Charlotte deShawn, a rookie PI who has been hired by the man she's had a thing for for years, Griffin Parrish. Griff wants Charlotte to find the whereabouts of baby Jaden who was given up for adoption years ago, because Jaden has just been named in his stepfather's will as co-owner of his hotel.

As Charlotte investigates in her rather haphazard way she discovers that Jaden was given up for adoption amongst some rather dodgy events, including a possible murder and a missing valuable necklace. Charlotte's work is hindered by her adoptive father's discouragement and by her feelings for Griff. We also follow the stories of Charlotte's friends Prissy, BrieAnna and Bebe, as they try to find love and make their own way in the world.

There was little suspense in this book - I guessed Jaden's identity almost instantly, the writing makes it very clear where the romances are going, the setting in Savannah is good but also perhaps a little stereotypical. I found it hard to like any of the lead characters who seemed fairly selfish and to just do what they feel like, plus some of the romances seemed very shallow, and some of the events were impossible to believe in. Although Charlotte's romance, and that of one of her friends, was wrapped up in this book, some of the plot elements weren't completed and I assume these carry forward to the next book. It won't be a book that I will rush out to buy, however, as this story really didn't have enough depth and characterisation to make it truly satisfying.
